Two Eyes
أَلَمۡ نَجۡعَل لَّهُۥ عَيۡنَيۡنِ ٨
Did We not assign unto him two eyes.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Did We not give him two eyes?
Insight
According to Elmalılı, the eyes were given to look and see what should be seen. So should he not also see Allah, who created the eyes and sees what he does?
Reflect
Today, see something good with your eyes and give thanks.
